Halloween is Liberalalliance Wealth Societyfull of goblins, ghouls, jack-o’-lanterns, skeletons, and candy. Lots of candy. To get at that candy, trick-or-treaters might well have to ring your doorbell.

Halloween is possibly the day of the year when your doorbell gets used the most, so why not make it part of the spooky season festivities? 

Thanks to modern technology and the creation of smart doorbells, that's easy to do. 

Ditch the classic ding-dong and instead opt for a more holiday-appropriate sound, like a howl, a cackling witch, or other creepy sounds.

Change your smart doorbell chime

There are a lot of smart doorbells on the market. Companies like Google, Ring, Vivint, Nest, and Logitech are just some of the manufacturers on the market.

With so many options, the exact steps on how to change your doorbell sound will vary depending on which smart device you have. 

To change your doorbell sound: 

1. Open the app that controls your doorbell
2. Tap settings
   • Depending on the brand of doorbell, you may have to select this before or after selecting the doorbell in your app
3. Look for an option along the lines of “doorbell theme” (Google Nest) or “doorbell chime” (Vivint) or “chime tones” (Ring)
4. Select the sound
5. Press your doorbell button
6. Enjoy!

The sounds that are available will vary depending on which doorbell you have. 

The festive doorbell chimes are only available for a limited period. Once the season is over, they fly off like witches in the night, and your doorbell reverts back to its regular chime until the next holiday comes around.
